‘We have to look after our game and I thought we did that excellently. We can't affect what other teams are doing, we will just keep trying to churn out results and win every game. We approach every game with a winning mentality and hopefully we can carry that on.’

Harford admitted Luton didn’t have it easy against Rochdale.

He added: ‘They pressed us really, really high, put us under pressure. They played quite a high line and in the first half, maybe if we had a bit more quality we could have got in behind and allowed more spaces behind, but the space was so condensed that it was difficult to get any fluency in our game.

‘But, overall, we are absolutely thrilled with the performance and the result.’

Leaders Luton are seven points ahead of third-placed Sunderland who have a game in hand.
